Highlights

Keyboard layout is now configurable (#28)

  • The Chrome Remote Desktop session used to start with a hard-coded US layout (setxkbmap us). On a Spanish or other non-US keyboard, keys such as ñ, @ and accents came out wrong.

  • New Ansible variable keyboard_layout. Its default, us, keeps the previous behaviour, so existing installs don't change. Set it to your layout:

    uv run ansible-playbook playbook.yml -e keyboard_layout=es                  # full install
uv run ansible-playbook playbook.yml --tags desktop -e keyboard_layout=es   # change it later

  • It applies from the next CRD session. To switch the current session right away, run setxkbmap es in a terminal inside the desktop.

  • Documented in the README ("Keyboard layout") and in step 6 of both runbooks.

Full Changelog: v1.9.0...v1.10.0
